Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IrelandOur stay in Agali Houses was wonderful. Our room was lovely and spacious with a nice terrace overlooking the view. The pool area was very enjoyable and the staff were incredible. A special mention to the porter who carried 40kg worth of luggage up the challenging steps. Will definitely try to return to Agali Houses

CanadaThe STAIRS! There’s so many stairs! Just to get to the entrance of the hotel, there’s 81 stairs. To get to our room was another 74 stairs. Any time you want to go do something or go get something to eat there’s so many stairs! We had just done a huge hike on the last island we were on and doing the stairs 2-3 times a day sucked. Also breakfast was €18 for a standard breakfast, but there’s a great cafe where you can get really good breakfast for €20 right at the top of the stairs.
The property is beautiful. The people are great. The pool is great. Our room was comfy and clean with a private terrace with great views.

United KingdomNothing major. Shame no bar in the evening as patio seating is wasted. Main issue is the steps. If you read about them and are happy then you are fine, but there are a lot and so no for the frail or particularly unfit. The porters taking cases up and down were a god send.
Lovely hotel. Well designed. Comfortable well equipped rooms. Attentive staff (room cleaned every day as was whole hotel) Lovely pool area with good sun beds / seating and a nice pool bar. And ………that view….. we never tired of it

CanadaWith many stairs to reach the hotel, the way can sometimes be challenging. Something to consider if you have some physical limitations.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, very professional and organized. Maria, Vasiliki and the porters were amazing! Location and view were unbeatable. Away from the noisy crowds but close to everything. Room was spacious and bed the most comfortable of 9 beds we slept on during our Europe trip. Facilities were beautiful, including the pool. Too bad we had no time to use it. All in all, a perfect place to prepare for our Santorini wedding and spend the first few days of our honeymoon!

This hotel is in the most incredible location on the west coast of Santorini with amazing views over the caldera. It is also decorated to a very high standard and the staff are very helpful. Lots of steps though so not for anyone with limited mobility.

AustraliaLoved everything but need to be aware there are many steps to the property … so quite a challenge climbing the stairs every time we went out. Porters were next level amazing carrying our suitcases down and back up. They deserve a medal 👏. Stairs would be difficult for those with young children or mobility issues.
Spectacular location at Firostefani, amazing views, beautiful large rooms and balconies and terraces, amazing pool and pool bar and all staff were so helpful and happy. Only about a 15 minute walk to Fira but far enough away to be out of the crowds.

United Statesno complaints but unlikely to return to Santorini again as the ratio of cruise ships and tourists is ridiculous and it feels more like Key West Florida with hordes of tourists milling around - thank goodness Agali House is at the bottom of the steps and thankfully quiet and away from all the crowds of tourists crowding the upper steps to take sunset pictures
This is a first-class boutique hotel with first-class customer service and incredibly helpful and strong staff who heaved our luggage up and down 100+ stairs in one go - impressive. Our room offered an incredible view of the Aegean and the Caldera. Our room was quiet and clean with adjustable a/c and a comfy bed. The pool area and the surroundings were incredible. This really is a wonderful place to stay. Dimitri and Milkti (not sure of spelling) were attentive and organized our port>hotel and hotel>airport shuttles for us and helped us with luggage up and down all those steps - everything was very organized and went smoothly. Read all the reviews before you book at this location. We were aware that there are many many many steps to descend and go up daily and the hotel does not accept any friends or family as guests that may be staying in different hotels to you - we got it - we understood why, this is a quiet hotel and there is only so much space around the pool for sun-loungers - I am writing this here as we were prepared for the strict guest rules!
